I recently received a review copy of the fourth Blood Lines book, Blood Heat. I realized then that I hadn’t yet read the third installment, Blood Kin, and decided to remedy that before starting Blood Heat. I’m glad I read it — there are a couple of revelations that will no doubt be important to the series — but as an individual novel, Blood Kin is disappointing.

This was another great book in the series. I would have bumped it up another star if it wasn't for the fact that I seemed to get lost in part of the story.
Keira is back and struggling with the knowledge that she is the clan heir, something she never wanted. It does have some perks as she is finding out as she changes to wolf and runs with Tucker. She is just coming to terms with the knowledge that instead of just having one talent, she will be able to access them all.

This was the least favorite of the previous two that i have read. This book was different a little bit weird in the sense that Keira is learning more about her talents. Her brother showed her about being a shapeshifter "wolf" and she loved it. Keira seemed more head strong i do not know more but in this book she's confused and winney.
But we find out that Adam has some secrets that he did not tell Keira again because if he came clean he was afraid that she would leave him. ...more

Synopsis: Keira Kelly has come into her full powers, and they are frighteningly strong, creating a distance between her and her human friends in her beloved Rio Seco. It is time to obey her great-great-grandmother Gigi's orders and rejoin her family in northwest Canada, where Keira can learn to handle her dangerous new skills. She'll have friends with her every step of the way -- her shapeshifter brother Tucker, his beloved Niko, and, to Keira's dismay, her cousin on her mother's side, Daffyd ap...more
I've enjoyed this series so far as easy reading. Lima has created a very interesting supernatural world surrounding the Fae courts and her own brand of paranormal beings, which are clans of paranormals with different abilities from necromancy to weather wardens and everything in between.
The characters are likable, if at times predictable. Keira, the main character in this book and other books in this series, tends to go run with her emotions before she thinks things through so at tim...more

toujours aussi bien ! dans ce tome on en apprend vraiment beaucoup plus sur la famille sidhe de Kiera, sur ses nouveaux pouvoirs et ce que cela fait d'elle. Egalement de grande revelation sur Adam et son ex Gideon.
ce tome suit directement au deuxieme, il se passe enormement de choses et il n'y a pas le temps de souffler. On fait connaissance avec de nombreux membres de la famille de Kiera pour notre grand plaisir. L'histoire se complique quelque peu et on se demande vraiment quel sera le dé...more

The story was ok but the main character, Kiera Kelly, has become really annoying so it made me consider not finishing the book. I did, but just skimmed the last 100 or so pages. She became a character so filled with indignation and impatience that she never let another person speak without a bunch of blustering and interruptions. Not an easy character to 'bond' with.
Complicated and rich with backstory as Keira's Talents awaken, Blood Kin is loaded with revalations about people she loves, people she once loved and people that have become family. This is a wonderful addition to this series. I can't wait to catch up with Maria Lima's most recent release.
Didn't realize this was the third in a series but the author did a good job of back-referencing enough so that the story line made sense. Enjoyed the first person narrative!
The end results of this novel were very predictable from early on, but I enjoyed reading it and it sets the foundation well for the next book. Though this isn't my favourite as a stand-alone novel, it hints at a lot of potential for the future of the series. A good day's reading!
The Blood Lines series is well worth reading!
This was the best book of the series so far.

Okay now I'm hooked on this series.
The interludes were a little confusing and at first I was skeptical of their relevancy but they ended up being tied into the story well. This was a good read about characters that I like.
